Queering Tribal Folktales from East and Northeast India

Kaustav Chakraborty

4.9/5 (29697 ratings)

Description:This book explores queer potentialities in the tribal folktales in India. With the help of extensive ethnographic research, it studies the folktales of the four indigenous communities--Toto, Rabha, Limbu and Lepcha, situated in the hilly areas of Sikkim and West Bengal. The volume looks at the oral narratives of these communities which are significant repositories of gender fluidity and alternative possibilities. Moving beyond the binary of the straight and non-straight orientation and desires, it tries to locate identity in the third space of genderqueer fluidity. The author argues that queerness has always been a feature accepted in the ethnic cultures regarded as aboriginals in India. An important intervention, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of queer studies, gender studies, tribal studies, indigenous studies, literature, cultural studies, postcolonial studies, sociology and political studies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
